With both No. 15 Louisville and No. 13 Georgetown coming off emotional upset wins, it was no surprise that Monday night's matchup got off to a slow start. In the end, the Hoyas had enough in a 62-59 win.
Chris Wright scored a season-high 24 points, and No. 13 Georgetown overcame a major dose of Big East ugly Monday night to get its fifth consecutive win, blowing an 11-point second-half lead before pulling out a 62-59 victory against No. 15 Louisville.
Wright, who was held scoreless in the Hoyas' win at then-No. 8 Villanova on Saturday, went 8 for 8 from the free throw line, including making two with 4.4 seconds left that forced the Cardinals to attempt a 3-pointer to tie. Peyton Siva, who had perhaps his worst collegiate game, dribbled down the court and missed from the top of the key at the horn.
No. 3
Jordan Hamilton scored 20 points and No. 3 Texas rolled to an easy 69-49 win against No. 16 Texas A&M on Monday night, the Longhorns' first victory in College Station since 2004.
